Exemplary embodiments are described below to explain the present invention by referring to the figures.
-
FIG. 1 is a view schematically illustrating a test apparatus for a power supply unit, according to an embodiment of the present invention.FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view schematically illustrating a test apparatus for a power supply unit, according to an embodiment of the present invention. - Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , atest apparatus 1 for a power supply unit P, according to an embodiment of the present invention, includes abody unit 10 and atest unit 20. - The
test apparatus 1 may detect a flicker of a light emitting diode (LED) L. The flicker is caused by abnormal power supply of the power supply unit P that supplies power to the LED L. That is, thetest apparatus 1 for the power supply unit P tests a power supply state of the power supply unit P through the LED L. - The
body unit 10 may include a space to receive the LED L, accordingly providing a test environment for the LED L. Thebody unit 10 may form a darkroom environment which is isolated to block out external light, except light generated from the LED L, during the test of the LED L for an accurate test of the LED L. As shown inFIG. 2 , thebody unit 10 may include afirst body 11, asecond body 12, and acover 13. - The
first body 11 may receive the LED L connected with the power supply unit P. All of a plurality of the LEDs L may be inserted in thefirst body 11 for simultaneous inspection of the flicker. In addition, thefirst body 11 may include a heat radiation member H, for example a heat sink, to radiate heat generated during driving in contact with the LED L. The heat radiation member H is inserted in thefirst body 11 along with the LED L. - The
second body 12 may be inserted in thetest unit 20 that will be described hereinafter, and configured to be separable from thefirst body 11. Here, thesecond body 12 may be stacked on an upper portion of thefirst body 11 to be separable in a vertical direction, that is, a y-axis direction. Accordingly, the upper portion of thefirst body 11 and a lower portion of thesecond body 12, facing each other, may be opened respectively. - The
cover 13 may selectively open thesecond body 12, thereby selectively exposing thetest unit 20. In particular, thecover 13 selectively exposes thetest unit 20 built in thesecond body 12, to enable maintenance and repair or variation of test conditions. For this purpose, thecover 13 may be configured to selectively open and close anexposure hole 14 formed through one side of thesecond body 12. - The
test unit 20 may be mounted in thebody unit 10 to face the LED L, such that a distance with respect to the LED L is adjustable. Thetest unit 20 inspects the flicker occurring in the LED L. For this purpose, thetest unit 20 may include asensor unit 21 and anadjustment unit 24 as shown inFIGS. 2 and 3 . - The
sensor unit 21 may detect the flicker of the LED L occurring when power supply by the power supply unit P is performed abnormally. For this function, thesensor unit 21 may include asensor 22 to detect light, and asubstrate 23 electrically connected with thesensor 22 to process detected information. According to the present embodiment, thesensor 22 includes a photodiode. - The
adjustment unit 24 may support thesensor unit 21, thereby adjusting a distance G between thesensor unit 21 and the LED L. As shown inFIG. 3 , theadjustment unit 24 may include aholder member 25, asupport member 26, and afixing member 27. According to the present embodiment, the distance G between thesensor unit 21 and the LED L is within a range of about 10 millimeters (mm) to about 80 mm, however, is not limited thereto. - The
holder member 25 may support thesensor unit 21 such that thesensor unit 21 and the LED L face each other. Referring toFIGS. 2 and 3 , since the LED L and thesensor unit 21 are disposed in thefirst body 11 and thesecond body 12 being vertically stacked, thesensor unit 21 and the LED L face each other in the vertical direction, that is, the y-axis direction. However, thesensor unit 21 and the LED L may face each other in a horizontal direction, that is, in an x-axis direction. In this case, thefirst body 11 and thesecond body 12 may be connected in the x-axis direction. - The
substrate 23 of thesensor unit 21 provided to theholder member 25 may be totally separated for maintenance and repair. - The
support member 26 may be mounted to thebody unit 10 by passing through theholder member 25, parallel to the y-axis direction in which theholder member 25 and the LED L face each other. Thesupport member 26 may be connected to theholder member 25 by aconnection hole 25 a formed through one side of theholder member 25, the one side at which thesensor unit 21 is not disposed. One end of thesupport member 26 is fixed to an inside of thesecond body 12. The other end of thesupport member 26 is fixed by asupport end 12 a formed at thesecond body 12 so that a position of thesupport member 26 is fixed. According to the foregoing configuration, theholder member 25 moves up and down along thesupport member 26 in the y-axis direction, thereby adjusting the distance G between thesensor 21 and the LED L. - The fixing
member 27 is inserted through theholder member 25 and fixed to at least one of a plurality of fixingrecesses 26 a provided at thesupport member 26. Specifically, the fixingmember 27 is inserted in the at least one of the plurality of fixingrecesses 26 a, through one end of theholder member 25 in the x-axis direction, that is, perpendicular to the y-axis direction in which theholder member 25 and the LED L face each other. As shown inFIG. 3 , the fixingmember 27 includes agrab end 28 grabbed by an operator, and a fixingend 29 extended from thegrab end 28 and inserted in the at least one of the plurality of fixingrecesses 26 a. - The fixing
member 27 may face the exposure hole formed at thesecond body 12 so as to be selectively exposed by thecover 13. According to the foregoing configuration, when the inside of thesecond body 12 is opened by thecover 13, the operator may easily access an inside of thebody unit 10 through theexposure hole 14 and operate the fixingmember 27. - A test operation of the
test apparatus 1 for the power supply unit according to the embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference toFIGS. 2 and 3 . -
FIG. 3 is a sectional view schematically illustrating the test apparatus for a power supply unit, shown inFIG. 2 . - As shown in
FIG. 2 , the LED L and thetest unit 20 including thesensor unit 21 are disposed in thefirst body 11 and thesecond body 12, respectively. The LED L emits light through connection with the power supply unit P. - As the
first body 11 and thesecond body 12 are connected to each other, an inside space defined by thefirst body 11 and thesecond body 12 is sealed, accordingly achieving the darkroom environment. When the LED L disposed in thefirst body 11 is operated, thesensor 22 of thesensor unit 21 facing the LED L may detect the flicker of the LED L, generated by abnormal power supply, and may provide thesubstrate 23 with information on the detected flicker. - When the flicker is inspected by adjusting the distance G between the LED L and the
sensor unit 21 provided respectively in thefirst body 11 and thesecond body 12, the operator may separate thecover 13 connected with theexposure hole 14 of thesecond body 12, as shown inFIG. 2 , and enter the inside of thesecond body 12. Next, the operator may separate the fixingmember 27 fixed by engagement with one of the plurality of fixingrecesses 26 a formed at thesupport member 26 as shown inFIG. 3 , and then move the releasedholder member 25 in the y-axis direction to a desired position. Finally, the operator may reinsert the fixingmember 27 into one of the plurality of fixingrecesses 26 a, which is disposed in theconnection hole 25 a of theholder member 25, in the x-axis direction. Thus, the operator repositions and fixes theholder member 25. - When the operator wants to replace the LED L being tested, the
second body 12 is separated from thefirst body 11 so that the LED L inserted in thefirst body 11 is exposed. - According to the foregoing structure, by inspecting a flicker of light generated from an LED, power supply with respect to the LED may be detected and analyzed, regularly.
- Since a distance between the LED and a test unit that detects the flicker of the LED is selectively adjusted, various test conditions may be provided. As a consequence, power supply quality may be increased.
- Since a darkroom environment is provided by blocking out external light during a test of the LED, accuracy of the test may be increased.
- Since an inside of a body unit is selectively opened to exposure the LED, replacement of the LED may be facilitated.
